Dear Flo, I am so happy that I got to speak with you and tell you that I love you the night before you checked in to the hospital. Something told me to call, something strong. Visits to Cape May will never be the same, your voice and presecnce will be missed. You left an impression on our family and we will never forget. Don't worry about Aunt Cheryl and the kids. We will all watch over them, and now we all have you to watch over us. The time will come when we all be together once again. Until then Floie, Love, Huggs, and Kisses, Love, Serenna

From the moment I met Florence I knew that she was a true spitfire. You could always count on her to tell you exactly how it was. Her off beat sense of humor made even the most up tight crack a smile. She had this unspoken wisdom about her, something only great strength could produce. There will never be a duplicate only one Flo and our lives just won't be the same without her telling us just where to get off. we all love you at crest haven and your sense of humor and love of life will never be forgotten.
With much love and sympathy - Samantha Shelton

It is so hard to put into words when a dear friend has passed...I know how strong and brave you were, and I know how hard you fought, but it wasn't to be.. You are now one of God's special angels and the peace and comfort that I get is knowing you are out of pain...I only hope that when my time comes that I am as brave as you... Walk free my friend, hold onto God's hand until we meet again...
You will be greatly missed by me and a whole lot of other people as you touched the heart of many...

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
